Getting ready for Puerto Rico!



Dustin and I are leaving Tuesday bright and early for Puerto Rico. We'll be staying at the Waldorf Astoria El Conquistador Resort. Here is the link if your interested, http://www.elconresort.com/index.cfm . It is sandwiched between the Rain forest and the Ocean. The Resort owns an island right of the coast that they will boat you to and from. It's shores are beautiful white sand beaches with crystal clear water and lots of reefs to explore (if you like to chance bumping into a shark!) We have been anticipating this trip for quite some time. Well... Dustin had a little accident the other day and received 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree burns to his face and arms. He was very lucky, it could have been worse. He has a couple small 3rd degree burn spots on his face and lots of discoloring. He says he looks like an indian brave about ready to go to war with all the war paint on. I imagine that he will heal well and probably reasonably quick, but not quick enough for our trip! It will be interesting to try to keep his burned skin from burning while spending all our time on the beach. I think we will find him a sombrero or something similar to sport while out in the sun (he's cool enough to pull it off...right?) OH YEAH! There is also a hurricane heading straight for Puerto Rico and should hit while we are there, just in case our lives were not exciting enough. So now, the trip I have been so looking forward to is sounding less and less appealing.

Oh man! Dustin can so pull of a sombrero. And don't get caught in a hurricane please! I hope the trip is a success... sounds like a blast!

Luckily, the threat of Hurricane Ana has died down to a tropical depression that is actually hitting today, so... it should be all cleared up by the time we get there tomorrow. Hurricane Dan (or whatever his name is) is not supposed to be getting close enough to Puerto Rico to do us any harm. Hopefully it stays its course.

Hey Dustin,
I see you are still the disaster kid of the clan!
I still remember taking you to the ER when you pulled the fish tank over ontop of yourself!
Glad to see you turned out okay in spite of the head injury! ha-ha
